Definitions
- the present invention relates to vacuum cleaners, and especially to a vacuum cleaner comprising an axial diffuser.
- the efficiency of the motor-fan unit is an important factor when it comes to minimize losses in a vacuum cleaner.
- a part of the fan system where present systems show unnecessary losses is in the air guiding system.
- a diffuser is present for deceleration of air ejected from an impeller in a controlled manner, in this way transforming the dynamic pressure created by the impeller into static pressure.
- Diffusers in vacuum cleaners are either arranged axially or radially.
- the construction of the diffuser is very important as it affects the efficiency of the vacuum cleaner.
- a highly efficient diffuser can increase the volume of air being moved or reduces the power required to move the same volume of air. Hence, the desire for a more efficient diffuser is obvious.
- EP 1 878 376 a vacuum cleaner with a radially arranged diffuser is provided.
- the efficiency is increased by changing the inlet angles of the vanes in the diffuser, when combined with changing the return guide vane angles.
- Radially arranged diffusers result in a vacuum cleaner with large diameter and therefore axially arranged diffusers are preferred when a more compact design is desired.
- axial diffusers allow for a design with a smaller outer diameter than radially arranged diffusers.
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,442,792 describes a vacuum cleaner with a mixed flow impeller directly connected to an electric motor and with an axial diffuser arranged on the downstream side of the impeller.
- a general problem in diffusers is that deceleration of air should be as smooth as possible to minimize losses. By increasing the flow area in the diffuser air channels little by little smooth deceleration is achieved. This is easier to achieve if the air channels are relatively long.
- a problem when producing diffusers with long channels is that the production tools end up to be very complex. For example, when producing diffusers by injection moulding, the injection moulding tool needs to be extremely complex to produce a diffuser provided with air channels long enough to provide smooth deceleration of air.
- Another problem arising in long flow channels and in flow channels where the cross sectional area is increased, is boundary layer separation; the air flow will separate from the flow surface it follows, resulting in an increased flow resistance and increased losses. In an arrangement with one diffuser row with relatively long vanes there is a risk that the boundary layers are decelerated and stop thereby creating separation.
- An object of the present invention is to provide an improved vacuum cleaner solving at least some of the problems mentioned above.
- a vacuum cleaner comprising an electric motor, an impeller and an axial diffuser arranged on a common axis.
- the impeller is connected to the electric motor and is arranged for rotation on the common axis to achieve a radial air flow.
- the radial air flow is redirected into an axial air flow.
- the diffuser passages are arranged between an inner circumferential wall and an outer circumferential wall.
- the walls are coaxially arranged around the common axis.
- Each diffuser passage is delimited in a circumferential direction between the walls by vanes extending between the inner wall and the outer wall in an axial direction extending substantially in parallel with the common axis.
- the vanes are arranged in at least two rows being consecutively arranged in the axial direction extending substantially in parallel with the common axis.
- the flow surface is interrupted.
- the air stream will follow the interrupted flow surface for a longer distance compared to a non-interrupted surface of the same length since the transition between the rows will promote a stable boundary layer along the vanes of the downstream row.
- unwanted separation of the air flow from the flow surface will be avoided and the air flow will be distributed over the whole available cross sectional area of the diffuser passages. Thereby, unnecessary losses are avoided and the losses in the diffuser are thereby limited.
- the above mentioned object is thereby achieved.
- the separation and losses is minimized because new fresh boundary layers are created on the surfaces of the downstream vanes. It has been shown that a plurality of diffuser rows give a higher working efficiency than a single row.
- the vanes are arranged in more than two consecutive arranged rows.
- the effect of interrupting the flow surface as described above will be further improved.
- due to the rows there will be a smooth increase of the cross sectional area of the diffuser passages resulting in smooth deceleration of the air stream.
- At least two pair of vanes are arranged in the consecutively arranged rows.
- first pair of vanes is arranged at a first angle in relation to the common axis
- second pair of vanes is arranged at a second angle in relation to the common axis.
- the second angle is smaller than the first angle.
- vanes comprised in the first pair are arranged substantially in parallel and at a distance from each other.
- the second pair of vanes is arranged with a displacement in a circumferential direction in relation to the first pair of vanes.
- the displacement has a length of the distance multiplied with 0.15-0.35.
- the electric motor is driven by a battery.
- the vacuum cleaner is of an upright model.

- FIG. 2 illustrates the interior of a vacuum cleaner in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention
- FIGS. 3 a and 3 b illustrates details of the diffuser vanes in an embodiment of the present invention
- FIG. 4 illustrates a vacuum cleaner of an upright model
- FIG. 5 illustrates a vacuum cleaner of a battery driven handheld model.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a conventional vacuum cleaner.
- the vacuum cleaner 1 comprises a cleaner body with a motor-fan system comprising an impeller and a diffuser.
- a motor-fan system comprising an impeller and a diffuser.
- such vacuum cleaner has a body with a relatively large diameter which at least partly depends on the diffuser being radially arranged, with air channels arranged radially outside the impeller.
- FIG. 2 illustrates the interior of a vacuum cleaner 1 in accordance with the present invention.
- the vacuum cleaner 1 comprises an electric motor 2 , an impeller 3 and an axial diffuser 4 being arranged on a common axis 5 .
- the impeller 3 is connected to the electric motor 2 and is arranged for rotation on the common axis 5 to achieve a radial air flow.
- the axial diffuser 4 comprises a plurality of diffuser passages 6 .
- the radial air flow is redirected into an axial air flow. To achieve the axial air flow, the radial air flow is redirected in a vaneless space (not shown) between the impeller and the diffuser.
- the axial diffuser 4 is arranged to deflect the substantially tangential velocity of the air exiting the vaneless space into a more axial direction.
- the diffuser passages 6 are arranged between an inner circumferential wall 7 and an outer circumferential wall 8 .
- the walls 7 , 8 are coaxially arranged around the common axis 5 .
- Each diffuser passage 6 is delimited in a circumferential direction by vanes 9 arranged between the inner wall 7 and the outer wall 8 and extending at partially in an axial direction in parallel with the common axis 5 .
- the vanes 9 in the embodiment shown are arranged in three consecutive rows 10 a , 10 b , 10 c . However, the vanes 9 may be arranged in an arbitrary number of consecutive rows, depending on the specific vacuum cleaner to be designed.
- FIGS. 3 a and 3 b illustrates details of the arrangement of the diffuser vanes 9 delimiting the diffuser passages 6 in the circumferential direction.
- the main direction of the air flow is shown by arrows.
- the vanes 9 are arranged in pairs in three consecutive rows 10 a , 10 b , 10 c .
- the vanes 9 comprised in a pair, are arranged substantially in parallel with each other.
- the first pair of vanes 9 a , 9 b is arranged at a first angle ⁇ in relation to the common axis 5 .
- the second pair of vanes 9 c , 9 d is arranged at a second angle ⁇ and the third pair of vanes 9 e , 9 f is arranged at a third angle ⁇ in relation to the common axis 5 .
- the angle of the vanes 9 is decreased whereby the passage width between the two vanes comprised in a pair for each consecutive row 10 is increasing.
- the cross sectional area of the diffuser passage 6 and thus the flow area of the air stream flowing in the passage, is increasing in the air flow direction.
- the first vanes 9 a , 9 b comprised in the first pair will be arranged at a distance A from each other as well as the second vanes ( 9 c , 9 d ) comprised in the second pair.
- the second pair of vanes 9 c , 9 d is arranged with a displacement in a circumferential direction in relation to the first pair of vanes 9 a , 9 b .
- the displacement is chosen to be 0.15-0.35 of the distance A.
- the displacement serves to ensure that a stable flow of air is maintained in a large part of the diffuser passage 6 .
- a vane 9 d upstream of an adjacent vane 9 f will guide the air flow over the adjacent vane 9 f as well as providing a slot. Through the slot air from an adjacent diffuser passage will pass and promote stable boundary layer along the adjacent vane 9 f.
- FIG. 4 illustrates a vacuum cleaner 1 of a handheld upright model.
- a vacuum cleaner of an upright model is another example of a vacuum cleaner with improved design when implementing the present invention.
- FIG. 5 illustrates a vacuum cleaner 1 of a handheld model.
- Vacuum cleaners of this type are typically driven by an integrated rechargeable battery or are arranged to be driven by the battery of a vehicle, such as a car battery. The available power is thus limited. Still further, for the user to experience comfortable and easy use of the vacuum cleaner, the design needs to be compact and slim. Such a vacuum cleaner is thus an example of a vacuum cleaner of improved design when implementing the present invention.
